My favorites? Sure, why not.


UNDERCARD (in no particular order):


Ali-Frazier III - Aware many people liked the first fight better, but this one was a classic. Non-stop action, brutal, and a preferred ending for me because Ali won this time.

Leonard-Hearns I - Talk about ebb and flow. Nothing much to add about this fight. Classic for all time. (I thought about Hagler-Hearns, but as great as it was it was too short. Duran-Leonard I was another finalist, but Leonard can't be twice on the same undercard

Arguello-Pryor I - The guy I was rooting for lost, but man..... what a fight! This one has to be on the list.

Douglas-Tyson - Lost in the talk about a humongous upset is the fact that this was an excellent, hugely exciting heavyweight title fight. Douglas turned in the performance of a lifetime, but Tyson wasn't just standing around waiting for the punches.

Cotto-Margarito II - I can see this revenge fight over and over. Would've loved an actual TKO, but the fact it was a stoppage was good enough.



MAIN EVENT:

Trinidad-Vargas - Yep. My favorite fight of all time. Both undefeated... the PR-Mexican rivalry on stage... the brash Vargas who had said "this Mexican won't run" (an obvious jab at De La Hoya).... the Aztec warrior entrance into the ring.... the electric atmosphere.... and then the fight itself.
